Mirza Saad AliBaig.

Mirza Saad Ali Baig is a verified Tax Agent of the UAE Federal Tax Authority and works at the intersection of tax compliance and the governance frameworks that now sit around it. The UAE Corporate Tax regime, the 2026 VAT amendments under Federal Decree-Law 16, and the audit-evidence standards the FTA applies all rest on the same discipline: documented control over how a business records, classifies, and supports its tax positions.

His legal training comes through two LL.M. degrees taken in parallel — International Commercial Law at the University of Dundee in Scotland, and International Business Law, Taxation & Compliance at CY Cergy Paris Université in France — alongside an LL.B. Honours from the University of Sussex. He is admitted as an Advocate to the Sindh High Court and the Karachi Bar, and is in the SRA admission process for England and Wales.

He reads an M.S. in Cybersecurity at Northeastern University's Khoury College, where the coursework covers NIST SP 800-30 risk methodology, ISO 27001, and the emerging NIST AI Risk Management Framework. That training feeds directly into how he scopes audit-evidence work and AI-governance reviews for Legato8's clients.

Earlier engagements include corporate-transaction risk work at Mohsin Tayebaly & Co. in Karachi (Legal500 Tier 1) and tax-litigation representation at Sales Tax Advisory Services in Pakistan.
